30 Second Survey on Full Time Work

[KeithArthur]

Hi Everyone

I would be really greatfull if people could complete this 15 second survey on the question "How many hours a week would you have to work before you considered yourself a full time employee."

It would be interesting to debate it after you finish it.

If I was working less than 6 hours per day I would consider that to not be full time. However, I don't believe there is any set rule.

I think the Job Shop consider anything over 16 hours a week as 'full time', I'm not sure, I will have to ask one of the young people I know looking for work.

[Thursty]

Done, voted 36 hours. Very surprised that 16+ is considered full time.

It can't possibly be full time, can it?
Average working week is what, 40.5 hrs?
That's not even half of it.

Typical working week is 35-37.5hrs, Steve.

Most people do 9-5 with an hour for lunch, or 9-5.30.

I do 9-6 - that's a long-enough day, by any stretch!

In the building trade it is typically 40.5 sub, if you are on the books.

Anything above this will be paid time & half.

Ah, OK.
I get overtime when I attend launches/tastings etc in the evening, plus any weekend work, which is good (time and a half, too)

[Roquetas]

In on annual hours - usually 1280 I think. Dunno what works out as weekly - probably fuck all, around 22?

Naturally I do a lot more on top of that before some cheeky bastard starts banging on about teachers again.

[Roquetas]

For example, I was in school for three hours today during half-term. And again tomorrow.

Is that why pubs do a roaring trade at lunchtimes. Fuck this I may as well drink till tea-time.

Birdie is correct. Anything over 16 hours and you have to sign off JSA. You are then considered a full time worker.

So far out of 52 respondents, 82% have given a number over 30 hours.

DWP classify full time work as anything over 16 hours.

Interestingly, you only have to do an hour a month to classify yourself as self employed, and all self employed work is considered full time.

I will tell you, that no respondent put anything under 20 hours.

I put 25 I think, I try to do a minimum of 5 hours a day, but now winter comes Ill probably extend it to 8 or 9 maybe for 4 days and take Friday afternoon from 2.30 off, to be fair I used to do 12-16 hour days every day when I was in the UK and that included weekends, it was very tiring esp on the 8 week run up to Xmas but I would take 4 to 5 days off at the end of every month and get out of the UK to refresh, I quite enjoyed it, but eventually the stress turned me to Alcohol, it was always there, and now I guess the Alcohol is starting to take over
